Cheney released from Inova Fairfax Heart and Vascular Institute.

NYT:

Former Vice President Cheney was released this morning from the Inova Fairfax Heart and Vascular Institute. As he continues his recovery at home he and his family express their gratitude for the tremendous care he has received from the medical staff at Inova Fairfax and at George Washington University Hospital. They also want to thank the many people who have reached out with letters and prayers and warm wishes.

Mr. Cheney, now 69, has had five heart attacks, the first coming when he was 37. His daughter, Liz Cheney, told “Fox News Sunday” last week that the former vice president was looking foward to taking hunting and fly-fishing trips.

The Times’s Lawrence K. Altman last month examined the kind of pump Mr. Cheney received, writing that it was “now being given to a small but growing number of people with heart failure so severe that they would most likely die within a few months without it.”

I HOPE THIS ONE LASTS A LONG LONG TIME...
